You A SSHOLE, you know he's not one sided.

Wislet: HAS ANY OF US HERE READ THE BOOK?
If you have, pls indicate.
I do not think Achebe would be one-sided in this tell-it-all book.
Let us at least READ IT before commenting.
Anybody that fights here will be punished.

you can hate him all you want, what difference does it make, who do ibos love in the world?[quote author=priory][/quote]

to further screw up the future of your children just as your own parents did to you.

solomon111: I got to order for that book immediately.
It should be one of my children's inheritance.

Just say schools in iboland, where you live in lies as if tomorrow will never come.

bashr8: abeg who knows when the book is coming out in nigeria, its a must read.i heard schools in nigeria and abroad are already making plans to add it to their syllabus

how many northerners have you seen here calling Yoruba names.

Noiseless2: But just few weeks ago, a northerner spoke publicly on how the same man (awolowo)selfishly and shamelessly joined to fight against Biafra after being dangled with the promise of presidency if Biafra gets crushed. How come heaven didn't let loose by the Yorubas when the northerner made similar comment?

they will say its ibo.

Chimanet: we all knows who is trybalistic, ask other nigerians they will tell you the most tribalistic nigerian tribe

Biafrans released him cos they were the same people that locked him up on trumped up charges so he knew better to move far away from people who framed him and then released him to be used again. once bitten twice shy.

Chimanet: do u support awo supporting nigeria in the war after biafrans released him from their prisons? do you know the kind of promises and agreement he made with biafrans before they gave him freedom? please if you want to grow in this life, start respecting agreements

You are right, truth according to ibos who can't recognize truth if it falls on their faces[quote author=Yeske!]Am i missing something here? I thought these were the same policies Pa Awo defended while alive and Achebe only stated same stuff which is common knowledge. Truth no matter how bitter must be told.[/quote]

The apology is still from your ibo brother so shove your acceptance where it belongs.

ichidodo: ON BEHALF OF MY LATE ANTY MARGARETH, WHO LOST HER LIFE TO STARVATION AT A TENDER AGE OF 10 AND TO THOSE KIDS( MORE THAN A MILLION OF THEM) WHO DIED BECAUSE OF AWO-OL*. I ACCEPT URE APOLOGY.

He's an ibo like you, so you guys need a new trick.[right][/right][quote author=Mr. Globe]I appreciate your sincerity, sensibility, maturity, honesty and intelligence. Please dont be offended when I insult the Yoruba tribe, I always give people like you, soyinka and fela credit whenever I do. I only go all out on the savages from another savage awo's lineage.[/quote]

ibos and paranoia. we all know that you are an ibo and your tribe has hit its waterloo.

madridsta007: Hitler, the head Nazi was a German. All Germans were not Nazi. Same with the Yoruba Nation. All Yoruba's are not Awoists even though all Awoists are Yorubas.

There are still Yoruba's, non-Awoists that know and have known that all that Achebe wrote in his book is true and the seeming defence of Awo is an insult to Ndi Igbos and Nigerians and a vain attempt to distort history. These Yorubas have a conscience and many have apologised to the Igbos for the genocidal misdeeds of their patriarch Awo and want to move on to greater heights with them to build Nigeria.

On behalf of the non-Awoists and Yorubas with consciences we apologise to the Igbos.

YOU HAVE NO OIL IN IBOLAND.

bashr8: shut your stinking mouth you dirty yorubas are only confirming what achebe wrote about you and what everybody already knows , prepare to have your oduduwa republic without oil from igbo land and south south , bunch of parasites living on food stamps from oil money.

word!

4chi: With the persistent insult from the ibos to all what the yorubas hold dear, I want to send a clarion call to all yorubas to begin the process of systematically stifling these ungrateful parasites. I for one will never deal with any ibo man again for any business. I am also going to frustrate the several okoro chaps working for me out of their job.enough is enough.Mark my words from now on, ibos will begin to see the other side of yorubas. Already, landlords are refusing them as tenants and the process of deporting their miscreants back to onitsha has begun. IF YOU PRIMITIVE PIGS DON'T LIKE YORUBAS, GO BACK TO YOUR EROSION RAVAGED,INFERTILE, LANDLOCKED AND CURSED LAND!!! All your leaders from Zik,ojukwu,iwuanyawu,orji kalu,nwobodo, and the crippled Achebe benefited from Yoruba generosity and hospitality, yet you turn round and run your dirty mouths. Thanks to the Internet,we now know what lies in your mind....and if you think you can engage in your normal bragadoccio and nzogbu nzogbu nonsense here, a single unit of OPC will annihilate you. Ask your brothers in okota why they've been behaving themselves since the incidence of 2002. Anuofia!

Yes he lied!!!!

bashr8: no need for insults, did achebe lie or not should be the question ,after answering that then we can debate if its right for him to publish the memoir at a time nigeria s already divided.

He uttered in ibos ears while other tribes were not listening right? every ibo parent has done a terrible job raising their children, so tragic.

Nebeuwa: People are attacking Professor Chinua Achebe, but is the man incorrect?

Let the truth be known that Chief Obafemi Awolowo uttered such words.

It is etched in the record. Now how can you refute such?

We all know thay ibos are the cowards here, your own warlord dressed in iro n buba to escape the war, if another war starts now, you animals will choke the express way with your death buses.

Bunkyrules: It is nw apparent dat most ofenmanu pple r jst senseless,y shud u attack some1 simply cuz,he said d truth?tufiakwa 2 dis useless nd coward tribe

I think this noise is also to generate traffic for the book, don't be deceived. I will see if people can get the book posted online after all we are able to watch movies that are even not in the theater yet online, how much more a kindergarten book. so the oku igbe old man will not really make much on it as ibo will do anything for money.

WE ARE NOT ONE, NEVER BEEN AND NEVER WILL.[quote author=Flawless~diva]Is statements like this that keeps widening the gap of unionism. We are not one, just aspiring to be.[/quote]

LIAR, IBO REGION CONTRIBUTES NOTHING TO NIGERIA.[quote author=Mr. Globe]from the man whose region contributes NOTHING to the center but yet collect federal allocation. Now who is the parasite.[/quote]

He's not a Noble laureate. The reason they are attacking Awolowo and Yoruba at every turn is that, they know most Yoruba care. If we can tell to go to hell, their tone will change. why do you think that they are not attacking Hausas, cos they know those people don't care. [quote author=sweet_gala]History is good, but I see this a tactful act to destroy the image of your enemy.
Awolowo was a great leader , a man was willing to take certain questionable decisions in the hope of ending a terrible civil war.
He never had any verbal agreement with Ojukwu to protect Biafran interest, why should he be vilified . It was not a strange tactic to deny your enemy access to amenities through routes which were under your control. All sides done so in world war II , merchant ships were targeted by all sides, cargo planes and rail lines, during the American civil war both sides resorted to caves and underground passages. It's your enemies duty to deny you easy access to supplies its yours to protect your supply routes, gain some and come up with alternatives. All wars are won on this simple principle.

It is no news that Awolowo and Achebe were on opposing sides during the war , history is written by the victors , to that effect Gowon, Awolowo and several other Nigerians are celebrated as powerful people who kept this country together today, achebe has denied himself a national honour twice a decision I respect.
We made an effort to forgive Ojukwu of treason and gave him a state burial honoured his widow.

Gowon gave a great speech after the war which denounced the notion of victory for the Nigerian state but promoted peace dialogue unity and reflection.

Now I ask why must a old much respected Nobel laureate invite the topic of division and taint the image of his long dead enemy for personal gratification?
The war for him is long gone and lost.[/quote]

Dream on!

nass07: Young Nigerians pls I advice u not to partake in these,these elderly men are out to trigger some awful kinda hatred upon the nation's future 'which you happens to be a part'. They are still beefing themselves over a failed past they created. They are leaving this world without resolving their differences, now they hope to polute the mind of young Nigerians so that these hatred will continue, so that the future of Nigeria would equally not live to see glory and peacefull days that I believe God is planning to bestow upon. This great country Nigeria

You should be worry about your ibo tribe survival, or are you going to turn into spirits? Yorubaland is more than viable reason you ibos troop to Yorubaland for survival using "one nigeria" as a cover up.

Fasterboy: Nairaland is a true representaion of Nigeria. I pray that this country will soon divide let me see how these Yoruba fooools will survive.

Yoruba do not throw their money away, especially to places like ibo land where the the ibos themselves will give every part of their bodies just to get out.

PointB: ^^^
Last time I checked, more Yorubas have been deported by Fashola than Igbos.

@topic, what's stopping yorubas from buying up properties outside their region? Are they scared of one Nigeria their forebears fought for? Or is it guilty conscience or cowardice?

The same way your fathers and grand fathers(how many did your mother tell you they were as i have lost count)escaped for pounding days old babies and eating human flesh which was then passed down to you to feed your children.

Ngodigha: Yet Hawolowo offered Ndigbo £20 after the war. How did he escape the Hague?.

Your fathers died with Yoruba on his mind and the obsession is still very much alive with you, so when are you going to pay attention to all the problems that plague you in SE. We are your masters, i don't really blame you. Bashing Yoruba is the only thing that makes you feel that you are alive as your ibo tribe is dead and buried.

mekuslogan: Awo was a war villain and a selfish monkey. Achebe is on point on his description of Awo. As for Gowon, he is a lost cause not worth commenting about.

mekuslogan or what do you call yourself, first of all you ibos are in love with all other nigerian names except yours, so the writer of that article you quoted is possibly an ibo guy. If by any chance ibos are sold lands in Ijebuland,mark it on the the wall, you are screwed for life as those lands are never going to get to your hands. The Ijebu Yoruba are more conservative than Lagos Yoruba. That's all I'm going to say to you about that. you my friend are sitting on a super long thing if you buy landed property in any part of Yoruba land. Hope you know what you are doing.

ibos, shior!! anything for money. she did not sell it to any Alhaji. she used it for money ritual and did not get a dime out of it

you ibo are too greedy , your sister ngozi Eponnjo iweOLE has stolen millons. The money was given to Tinubu, if its true. he did not dip his hands into anyone 's pocket

you ibos can't be the only people stealing, let others get some of the national cake

PointB: Whenever you try to get our brethren from SW to see Tinubu for the fraud he is, they accuse you of all sort of things. Today I am a changed man. Here is hoping that Tinubu win Ondo state election! My his thieving empire extend to even to Kwara. The people deserve the leader the get! SW has been generously blessed with emperor Tinubu of the highest bidder!

Hail emperor Tinubu!

Don't neglect where you are from. talk about your state[quote author=Mr. Globe]The big problem for him will be when he loses ondo. Thats when the south west people will begin to realize they have long been under Tinubu maze. Thats when his puppets called governors will start challenging him.[/quote]

that is new, ibo talking about class

solomon111: stfu,bittch!!
You don't even know how ugly tribalism makes you look.
How many igbo women have you seen displaying chronic tribalism like yours on Nairaland?
Yeah,talk about class.
Why am i not surprised?

exactly what i heard that your turuku mother is a m oron

solomon111: Hahahaha!!
Moronic people
